The main thing that decreases SIDS is the baby to sleep on their back with no covers or soft blankets. No smoking in the household and do not cosleep
SIDS is prevented by:
1. Infant sleep on his back.
2. Avoid extreme cold temperatures.
3. Avoid reflux or get treatment for reflux.
4. Monitor prematures babies after meals.
Put your baby on his back to sleep.
